FR-50-VOC MOLD RELEASE

Available in quart size

GRIFCOTE FR-50 is a proprietary blend of organic materials
that promote clean and easy separation from all types of
forms while deterring build-up and sticking. The reaction of
GRIFCOTE FR-50 creates a metallic soap that reduces
bonding/adhesion while promoting quick and clean stripping.
The reactive organic compounds provide maximum
performance to precast concrete, concrete forming,
prestressed concrete, etc.
GRIFCOTE FR-50 is non-staining and works well with white,
gray or colored concrete. Bug holes are minimized due to the
metallic soap-minimizing adherence of air to the form walls.
The release characteristic, due to the formation of the
metallic soap, makes the cleaning process more effective.
BIODEGRADABILITY:
GRIFCOTE® FR-50 is classified as “inherently biodegradable”
having a half-life of less than 60 days (based on ASTM
5864/OECD 301B).

APPLICATION
Form surfaces should be dry and free from concrete build-up
before GRIFCOTE FR-50 is applied. As GRIFCOTE FR-50 is
ready to use, it is not necessary to mix or dilute prior to using.
Application may be done using conventional or airless
spraying equipment, rollers, mops, wipe-on or any other
conventional method of applying form release agents. Over
application should be avoided to prevent runs or puddles,
which will create voids in the finished concrete surface.*Application rates will vary depending on forms and
application methods. GRIFCOTE FR-50 should be applied to
achieve a maximum 5-mil (.005 in.) thickness to help avoid
the possibility of surface voids. On new wood forms,
application rates should be 300 to 400 square feet per gallon.
On seasoned wood forms, it should be applied at the rate of
500 to 700 square feet per gallon. On conventional plywood
forms, it should be applied at a rate of 800 to 1000 square
feet per gallon.

STORAGE
All material containers should be kept tightly closed to avoid outside contamination. Drums and pails should
be kept in a vertical position.
Material should be stored in a protected area.
Do not store material in unlined metal containers (ductile, malleable or gray iron, steel, aluminum, brass or
bronzes). Material should be stored in plastic containers, lined drums or stainless-steel containers.
